Module 2 Blog Assignment

I agree with George Siemens view on distance education and communication is rapidly changing. When calling to talk to people locally or long distance, it is now cheaper than it was in the past. The voice quality is much better and clearer. I feel that communication has evolved because you can talk from a computer, you can Instant message someone overseas without paying for the talk time, you can use the computer as a telephone and you can use the internet.

The cell phone and the computer are the most powerful means of communication and they are used more than any other means of communication. You have programs such as instant messaging, social websites, chats, blogs, and wikis among others that allow you to communicate from anywhere.
